Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The battery device of claim 1, wherein one or more first battery cells of the battery cells comprise at least one of a different physical size, a different chemical composition, or a different electrical capacity than one or more second battery cells of the battery cells.
3. The battery device of claim 1, wherein the battery cells respectively operate based on at least one of a defined operation mode, a defined duty cycle, or a defined discharge priority level to provide at least one of the defined value of electric potential at the respective first sets of battery cell poles of the battery cells or the second defined value of electric potential at the second set of battery cell poles of the battery device.
4. The battery device of claim 1, wherein the battery cells respectively operate based on at least one of a defined operation mode, a defined duty cycle, or a defined discharge priority level to provide at least one of the defined value of electric potential at the respective first sets of battery cell poles of the battery cells or the second defined value of electric potential at the second set of battery cell poles of the battery device, and wherein the defined operation mode comprises an off mode indicative of a zero value of electric potential, a bypass mode indicative of the zero value of electric potential, a positive mode indicative of a positive value of electric potential, and a negative mode indicative of a negative value of electric potential.
5. The battery device of claim 1, wherein the battery cells respectively operate based on at least one of a defined operation mode, a defined duty cycle, or a defined discharge priority level to eliminate one or more load balancing components that balance discharge of respective electrical energy from the battery cells to provide the second defined value of electric potential at the second battery cell poles of the battery device.
6. The device of claim 1, wherein one or more first battery cell devices of the battery cells comprise one or more first communication components that use at least one of a wired communication network or a wireless communication network to provide data corresponding to the one or more first battery cells to one or more second communication components of one or more second battery cells of the battery cells.
7. The device of claim 1, wherein one or more first battery cells of the battery cells change at least one of a defined operation mode, a defined duty cycle, or a defined discharge priority level of the one or more first battery cells based on data received from one or more second battery cells of the battery cells that corresponds to the one or more second battery cells.
9. The computer-implemented method of claim 8, wherein one or more first battery cells of the battery cells comprise at least one of a different physical size, a different chemical composition, or a different electrical capacity than one or more second battery cells of the battery cells.
15. The battery device of claim 1, wherein each battery cell further comprises a transceiver.
16. The battery device of claim 15, wherein the transceiver performs wireless communications.
17. The battery device of claim 15, wherein the transceiver performs wired communications.
18. The computer-implemented method of claim 8, wherein each battery cell further comprises a transceiver.
19. The battery device of claim 18, further comprising communicating, by the battery device, with the transceiver of a battery cell of the battery cells using wireless communications.
20. The battery device of claim 18, further comprising communicating, by the battery device, with the transceiver of a battery cell of the battery cells using wired communications.
